I was running the 0.8 version of the applet under Mandriva 2008, when the images ceased being current. I'm trying to build the current release, but I've found one package after another is missing from my Linux installation. I'm currently stuck on the following error message:

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
